Airida [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Minimum wages can be defined as the minimum level of wages that an employer is supposed to pay to workers for their work. It cannot be reduced through an individual contract or collective agreement.  

Minimum wages are fixed above the equilibrium level of wages. At this level, the demand for labor is lower while supply is more because of high wages. This creates surplus labor in the market.

On December 29, 2005, BJ Co. sold an equity security investment that had been purchased on January 4, 2004. BJ owned no other ma
sineoko [7]

Answer:

AFS 2004 market price decline exceeded 2005 market price recovery

No No

The security cannot be classified as available-for-sale because the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in owners' equity, not earnings.

The second part of the question is somewhat ambiguous. The 2004 price decline could exceed or be exceeded by the 2005 price recovery. The loss in the first year is not related in amount and does not constrain the realized gain in the second year.

The way to answer the question is to read the right column heading as implying that the earlier price decline must exceed the later price recovery. With that interpretation, the correct answer is no.

For example, assume a cost of $10 and a market value of $4 at the end of the first year. An unrealized loss of $6 is recognized in earnings. During the second year, the security is sold for $12. A realized gain of $8 is recognized-the increase in the market value from the end of the first year to the sale in the second year. Thus, the market decline in the first year did not exceed the recovery in year two. (It could have exceeded the recovery in year two but there is no requirement that it must.)
